Here’s how it prevents leakage of bacteria in your gut – and stops systemic inflammation

FDA Warns of Serious Genital Infection Caused by Diabetes Meds
Do you take any of these?
- Canagliflozin (Invokana, Invokamet, Invokamet XR)
- Dapagliflozin (Farxiga, Xigduo XR, Qtern)
- Empagliflozin (Jardiance, Glyxambi, Synjardy, Synjardy XR)
- Ertugliflozin (Steglatro, Segluromet, Steglujan)
Men who take these horrible diabetes chemicals may experience a life-threatening bacterial infection of the tissues under the skin in the genital area.
And this happens most often among men aged 50 to 79.
But you don’t have to use Big Pharma’s dangerous chemicals – you can reverse diabetes yourself, following this simple system.

Really? Does this In-N-Out burger menu item fix your gut?
When people gain weight, fat cells become inflamed.
This inflammation spreads. And conditions such as atherosclerosis and erectile dysfunction can arise from this inflammation.
Fortunately, scientists are discovering that some foods can block the inflammation that occurs along with the weight gain.
Some studies show that cocoa can prevent obesity-related inflammation…
And this has major implications for many health conditions.
These animal experiments were conducted at the Department of Food Science at Pennsylvania State University. The results are published in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry.
Adipose tissue is the scientific name for body fat.
Fat cells that make up adipose tissue don’t just hang around – they produce hormones and inflammatory mediators.

Scientists believe that inflammation created by fat cells can cause many diseases – including metabolic syndrome.
“In diet-induced obesity, adipose tissue (body fat) is in a chronic state of inflammation predisposing the development of metabolic syndrome.”
Cocoa is rich in anti-inflammatory compounds called polyphenols.
“Cocoa (Theobroma cacao) is a polyphenol-rich food with putative anti-inflammatory activities.”
Other foods with high polyphenol content have been shown to be anti-obesity and anti-inflammatory.
Coffee and olive oil are two examples.
This study was about investigating the effect of cocoa on diet-induced obesity and inflammation.
“Here, we examined the impact and underlying mechanisms of action of cocoa on body-fat inflammation in high fat-fed mice.”
The scientists divided a bunch of mice into groups. Some mice got to eat a normal diet.
Two other groups of mice ate a high-fat diet designed to create obesity and inflammation.
One of these high-fat groups also got cocoa with their food.
“Male mice were fed a high-fat diet, or a high-fat diet with 8% cocoa powder, or a low-fat diet – for 18 weeks.”
Cocoa supplementation led to a massive decrease in inflammation.
“Cocoa supplementation decreased tumor necrosis factor-α by 40–60% compared to the high-fat group.”
Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) is one of the most dangerous inflammatory proteins in the body.
Elevated TNFα is linked to Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, depression, and heart disease.
It spreads from the fat cells and inflames the other cells.
In the liver, TNFα increases C-reactive protein and causes insulin resistance.
Another interesting finding of this study was the effect of cocoa on the gut barrier.
In obesity, the gut barrier is the first thing to fail.
When the gut barrier becomes weak, it allows bacteria to pass through into the bloodstream.
And these bacteria in the bloodstream increase inflammation.
Some studies indicate that inflammation caused by leaky gut initiates obesity and diabetes.
Previously, this was studied in animals and in humans.
Cocoa supplementation prevented bacterial endotoxin from leaking into the blood.
“Cocoa treatment ameliorated metabolic endotoxemia (40% reduction in plasma endotoxin) and improved gut barrier function.”
These bacterial endotoxin fragments are strongly tied to metabolic problems such as diabetes and obesity.
In fact, they are so strongly tied to these problems that their elevation in the blood is known as metabolic endotoxemia.
“Many studies have suggested that metabolic endotoxemia, characterized by an excess of circulating bacterial endotoxin, is also associated with obesity and systemic inflammation.”
Bacterial endotoxins initiate fat gain. And then they stimulate the fat cells to produce the inflammatory proteins that cause disease.
“Metabolic endotoxemia is believed to trigger the adipose tissue (body-fat) inflammation.”
Cocoa seals up the gut – preventing the bacteria leakage that causes systemic inflammation.
“Cocoa powder can exert anti-inflammatory activity – in part by modulating gut barrier function and metabolic endotoxemia.”
This study used an unsweetened, pure cocoa powder produced by the Blommer Chocolate Co.
The rodents supplemented with cocoa powder got 8% of their diet from cocoa powder.
Cocoa is one of the main ingredients in chocolate.
Unfortunately, there is quite a lot of fat in chocolate – while cocoa powder is low in fat.
High-fat diets are one of the most reliable ways to create obesity in animal experiments.
So, chocolate is probably not a good source of cocoa to reduce inflammation.
Though a little chocolate is not a bad thing either.
You should consult a healthcare professional about diagnosing and treating obesity and chronic inflammation.

Here’s what I always order at In-N-Out to raise my testosterone…
I figured out how to go into McDonalds or In-N-Out and order with a clear conscience.
In fact, now when I eat at one of these places I order a certain menu item that RAISES T, according to many studies. And it works for me…VERY well..)
Here’s what to order in a fast food burger joint to raise T.
